Abstract
A Fluid Flow Control System (FFCS) door assembly includes a continuous belt and a plurality of rollers. The plurality of rollers support the continuous belt and define a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, and a fourth segment. The continuous belt includes a plurality of openings that selectively allow fluid flow to pass through the first segment, the second segment, the third segment, and the fourth segment when two openings of the plurality of openings align with the first segment, the second segment, the third segment, or the fourth segment.
Claims18
A Fluid Flow Control System (FFCS) door assembly comprising:
- a continuous belt;
- and
- a plurality of rollers supporting the continuous belt and defining a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, and a fourth segment;
- wherein:
- the continuous belt includes a plurality of openings that selectively allow fluid flow to pass through the first segment, the second segment, the third segment, and the fourth segment when two openings of the plurality of openings align with the first segment, the second segment, the third segment, or the fourth segment;
- the first segment aligns with a fresh air channel and a first output channel;
- and
- the third segment aligns with a first recirculation air channel and a second output channel.
A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system comprising:
- a package housing a fresh air channel, a first recirculation air channel, a second recirculation air channel, a first output channel, and a second output channel;
- and
- an HVAC door separating the fresh air channel, the first recirculation air channel, and the second recirculation air channel from the first output channel and the second output channel,
- the HVAC door including
- a continuous belt, and
- a plurality of rollers supporting the continuous belt and defining a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, and a fourth segment, the first segment aligning with the fresh air channel and the first output channel, the second segment aligning with the first recirculation air channel and the first output channel, the third segment aligning with the second recirculation air channel and the second output channel, and the fourth segment separating the first output channel and the second output channel,
- the continuous belt having a plurality of openings that selectively allow airflow to pass through the first segment, the second segment, the third segment, and the fourth segment when two openings of the plurality of openings align with the first segment, the second segment, the third segment, or the fourth segment.
